Are you ready to switch off your screens and ponder or discuss another writing/conversation prompt from my friend Tyrean Martinson’s book? Here’s my take on it.

To Ponder
Letter: The Silver Years
“Only about 2% of older widows remarry,” she read to him from one of the studies she’d found of seniors over the age of 70 who had found a silver-haired soul mate. ‘I am one of them,’ she whispered, and smiled. He smiled back and showed her the photos he’d gathered for an article he […]
Rodney – The Wind and The Snow
Rodney, or “Hot Rod of the Slopes” as he was sometimes known as, was eager for the snow to come to western Washington. It was his time to shine. He was no longer “the” king of the slopes from the University of Washington, but there were many people, both women and men who wanted to […]

Letter: There Wasn’t Much Time
The sun was setting, its reflection interrupted by slender strands of intermittent light and then dark ripples that lay like ribbons upon the otherwise glass-like surface of the water. The scene was irresistible to my dad and I who loved these fishing trips together, brief though this one would be as there wasn’t much time […]
Deloris – Targeting people, the wind, and the rain – by Wright Park
Deloris, the day before she had just had her hair done, paid the rent down and the extra bit to cover wild parties or any accident’s that might happen one way or another. She knew there were no wild parties for her in the offing. Today, she brought in two suitcases and a bag of […]
